You can look for the children from the marriage on free bmd, using Wheal/Hall combination.

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Looks like 2 daughters and a son (Michael)

Added:
Herbert and the 2 daughters appear to be in a member's tree. Suggest you try and make contact.

You can use free bmd to look for marriages of the children, and births of their children, but the records stop (and are not completely comprehensive) at 1983.


You can look for the children (in married names if appropriate) on here:

http://www.freeelectoralroll.co.uk/

and on 192.com

If you want further help, post on here what you are stuck with.

And a possible death?

Welcome to the boards, Ann.

Do you know when and where May and Bert married, and when they died, to give us a rough indication of cousin's birth?

Also, is Bert actually Albert or Herbert do you know?

Thank-you

Ann

I am trying to find relatives belonging to May and Bert Wheal who lived in Bournemouth and Dorset. May was my aunt and I know I have at least 1 cousin (Mickey?) whom I have never met. I would love to hear from anyone who can help.
